Power Steering pump for 1990 Audi 100 solved

[Peter Elias]

Kent,
Thanks!    Wow, so I can buy 100 o-rings from that company for the same price as just 2 from the local Audi stealer!

Luckily the place that rebuilt them in Dallas (Prior Automotive), actually gave me 2 sets (of 6) rings for free (after asking nicely!).

FYI: McMaster-Carr has them, in different varieties (Oil-Resistant Buna-N, High-Temperature Silicone, etc).

$7-9 in quantities of 100; you’ll have enough to give away, too, or for spares for when you have to re-seal it.
